lists

I went on a list making spree back in the fall. I just realized it's been a long time since I've compiled a list, so I thought I would do just that while I pin things and eat oatmeal. 

Things I ate today:
strawberry oatmeal (currently enjoying)
sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit from Sonic
snack size Rolo McFlurry 
half a hamburger with pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and mayo. (For those of you that know me, yes, mayo. Weird, but I took a peek at the jar and felt the need to add a tad to my burger. So there's my "weird pregnancy craving.")
stir fry veggies
a potato chip
one piece of German chocolate cake
two peaches
a cucumber. maybe two
an unripe grape off the vine
other miscellaneous things
the night isn't over

A few things I like about Payneway, Arkansas:
my parents
walking my dog without carrying a poop bag
letting my dog run free in the yard without a leash
Buddy and Noobie
the deaths of snakes via Buddy and Noobie
a garden
Golden Girls on tv
large bathtub to stretch out in
bathtub with jets
stir fry veggies
walking on the gravel
fish in the ditch


Well, I'm finished with the oatmeal. I hope you enjoyed my two lists. They were fun. We are headed back to NC on Saturday, and I'm excited but sad to leave. It's nice to just chat with my parents in person, and it's nice to let my mom take Paris out early in the morning:) I've had a good time here, but it is time to snap back to reality and start the long and ever-stressful process of moving. I'm not complaining, though, because our new living arrangements are going to be wonderful! I just have a lot of planning and scheduling to do--all without the help of Derick. Luckily, my parents are really great about helping out. Our entire kitchen is already packed up, thanks to Mom. We are going to tackle the rest of the house when we get back. I'm fine with all that, actually. I'm just not so wonderful when it comes to dealing with the people and businesses involved in a move, and everything is a little harder since I've got Reeve along for the ride. But, I'm remaining optimistic that all will be well and I won't have to lose my self-control. I have just come to understand the fact (and I daily remind myself) that some people just enjoy making things hard on others. They can't just be helpful and easy-going. Frustrating to me, but it's part of life. I just really prefer helpful people over hindrances, but who doesn't?
Anyway, enough for now. I hope everyone has a terrific weekend! Yay, for all you workplace people! Tomorrow be Friday!
